Vk. Dolmatov et St. Manson, ON THE DEPENDENCE OF INNER-SHELL PHOTOIONIZATION ON THE OUTER-SHELL STRUCTURE OF MN, Journal of physics. B, Atomic molecular and optical physics, 31(5), 1998, pp. 999-1001
Since inner-shell photoionization cross sections in the region of pure
ly inner-shell-to-inner-shell resonances are generally insensitive to
the state of excitation or ionization of outer electrons, the most sen
sitive comparison between theory and experiment for photoionization cr
oss sections of excited or ionized atoms is in the region of inner-she
ll-to-outer-shell resonance transitions. The experimental 3p absorptio
n cross section of Mn+(3p(6)3d(5)4s(1) S-7) is compared with theory as
an example.
